ACSI
systems control all types of forehearths (gas and electric) to condition
glass to the required forming temperatures. Many different types of
strategies are employed to achieve this goal, including Model
Based Control, with feedforward capability, and standard PID control.
The type of strategy used is determined by your manufacturing conditions
and needs. System features can include automatic heating and cooling
control, setup tables, and temperature efficiency calculation and control.

Model
Based Control can be used to directly control the 9-point grid temperatures
in your forehearth. This strategy is capable of prioritizing the nine
temperatures and holding your grid at is optimal temperatures.
